David Moyes CLEARED over alleged bar bust-up

The Scot was said to have been involved in an altercation with 23-year-old Josh Gillibrand at a wine bar in Clitheroe, Lancs on the evening of May 21.

Moyes, 51, had been socialising with a friend at the fancy Emporium in the market town when police were called to the scene.

Witnesses told police that Moyes, who was sacked by Manchester United just weeks before, was being heckled by a group of drunken lads.

The fiery manager, who had also been Everton boss for 11 years, was alleged to have reacted angrily to the jeers.

One witness told the Mirror at the time: “Moyes was getting a bit of lip, then one guy said something about him being s*** and having never won anything. It was crazy.”

Mr Gillibrand claimed Moyes grabbed him round his neck and hit him on the back of his head.

The builder denied that he or his friend were involved in the abuse and said he "felt like I was going to die" during the alleged attack.

But today, Lancashire police confirmed that they would not be taking any further action against Moyes.

A spokesman said: "After careful consideration of all the circumstances in this case it has been decided that no further action will be taken against anyone.

"A thorough investigation has been carried out and everyone identified as having been involved in this incident or having witnessed it have provided accounts to the police.

"All these accounts were given voluntarily, it has not been necessary to arrest any person. These accounts have been considered and it has been decided that this is the most appropriate course of action."
